If the application has something adjoined, picking Default settings would be a mistake because the offers would not appear. We encourage picking Advanced (Custom) settings as otherwise, the added items won’t become visible. Simply unmark the boxes that appear in Advanced, and they will be stopped from installing. And while those items might not necessarily be harmful, if you weren’t properly informed about their installation, they should not be allowed to install.
